In the present article, cashew nut biocarbon (CTB), an agricultural waste, is used as reinforcement in Al6061 by heating process. The primary XRD study on CTB confirms presence of SiO2, Al2O3, iron-rich ferro-axinite, MgO, and Mn, which improve material’s properties when reinforcement. SiO2 levels increase with annealing time. extracted crushed into a ball mill for 24 hours, particle size measu...

This study evaluated the protective effect of different dietary ω-6/ω-3 ratios in oils obtained from various nuts (walnut, peanut, cashew, and hazelnut) against morphological features markers inflammation on an adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model. Rheumatoid (RA) was induced via intradermal injection heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Five groups rats with RA (n = 5) were randomly categor...

Both linear and conformational epitopes likely contribute to the allergenicity of tree nut allergens, yet, due largely to technical issues, few conformational epitopes have been characterized. Using the well studied recombinant cashew allergen, Ana o 2, an 11S globulin or legumin, we identified a murine monoclonal antibody which recognizes a conformational epitope and competes with patient IgE ...

This paper investigates the potential of nano zero valent iron impregnated cashew nut shell nanoparticles (NZVI-CNS) as an effective adsorbent for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution. The effect of initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature were determined by batch adsorption experiments. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were applied to the adsorption e...

Emerging antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria is an issue of great clinical importance, and new approaches to therapy are urgently needed. Anacardic acid, the primary active component of cashew nut shell extract, is a natural product used in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, including infectious abscesses. Here, we investigate the effects of this natural product on th...
